SUPPORTING AUSTRALIAN & NEW ZEALAND FAMILIES
The Keune Foundation
Many Australian & New Zealand families face increased emotional & financial strain when one of their children is diagnosed with a life threatening illness. Medical treatments & the road to recovery are often a long & stressful process. Many families have no choice but to take lengthy leave without pay, in attempt to provide the much-needed support & care to their child during this difficult time.
Hans & Theresa van der Velden, owners of Keune Australia wanted to find a lasting way to give something back to our society. In 2005, The Keune Foundation was established with the aim to provide financial assistance to Australian & New Zealand Families who experience financial & emotional stress when one of their children is diagnosed with a life threatening illness.
The Keune Foundation’s role is to provide support to Australian & New Zealand families without question, cost or prejudice.
How funds are raised?
Throughout the year, Keune runs campaigns & events, which help to raise money for TKF families in need. Keune also donates 10c to The Keune Foundation for every colour tube, purchased by hairdressing salons across Australia & New Zealand. Annually, Keune organises The Keune Foundation Ball where over 1,600 Keune hairdressers join together to help raise money through donations and silent auctions.
DONATIONS TO FAMILIES
100% of all money raised goes directly to families in need. Keune Australia bares all administration costs incurred by The Keune Foundation, to ensure that 100% of funds raised are used to ease the suffering of families in need.
